Introverts are quiet, until they get comfortable around you, but you typically have to start the conversation yourself if you want to get to know them.

If someone invites you to ‘Netflix and Chill,’ then they probably aren’t an introvert, unless they mean ‘You stay at your house in your fuzzy monkey socks by yourself Netflix and Chill’ (minus the Chill).
